Dear COPACI Federations,

After meeting many of you during the COPACI Seminar in
Panama, I allow myself to send the information published on the website
about coaches training courses:

As you can see on the website and in the attached document, there are several
courses level 1 & 2 and level 3_Diploma. As you know, if you want to send
some of their coaches through the Federation, can request
Solidarity Aid of the UCI (information on relations
of the UCI) and those of Olympic Solidarity (through the
his national Olympic committee). Keep in mind the deadlines
request.

As we have seen, one of its biggest problems is the level of
English, if we manage to have a group of coaches interested in the
level 1 & 2 and mechanics course, we could try to take the course
November in Spanish (as I said before,
as long as there are a number of Spanish-speaking participants
enough to be able to carry out this course).

Also, I remind you of the possibility of obtaining a scholarship for 2-3
women coaches from your continent for the level 1 and 2 course,
together with level 1 of mechanics, which will be held in Aigle at the end of
February 2019, in English. They have received a letter of information to
through COPACI, the application date was in December, but if
There are plenty of places that can try to send the request through COPACI
as soon as possible and we will review the applications in January.
Likewise, I invite all Federations to review the information of the
web page to have information about upcoming seminars and courses
of mechanics, assistants of the runner (soigneur), etc … and on the
information to organize a course in your country.
